Jeez...

-Simple Choice is NOT eligible. No, your account isn't special. It won't work. You have to change plans

-If you don't walk out of the store w/ the new Iphone in your hand, you will get bill credits. Which means you are stuck for 2 years and the extra you're paying for the line lessens this deal.

-Deal is $500 rebate for 6s phones, $700 for iPhone 7 and beyond. If you have an iPhone 6 or lower, you're getting no rebate. End of story. There are no loopholes or "what ifs".

-Phone screen can't be cracked. Not a "what about a little crack in the corner" comment. It will be rejected. Same goes for "what about a home button not working." Try it, but don't be surprised when it gets rejected. It's your $700 gamble. Stop asking if it will work.

-If your screen is cracked, get it fixed by a 3rd party place before sending in. It's typically less than $100

-Phone can be unlocked after 40 days w/ a request to Tmobile, and then used with any wireless service.

-Can't cancel line until you get your rebate; then go ahead and cancel or port out. Rebate takes 2-3 months to get

-Phone supports dual sim, so put your current ph# on the Esim (just go to a Tmobile store and ask) and the sim card with your new # in the phone. Yes, you can now have 2 numbers on new iPhones. Then you don't risk the phone # not being active while waiting for the rebate.

-If you want a cheap iPhone 7, look on the internet. Don't be lazy. Otherwise try a boost mobile store and read the "instore promo" offers on their website. Some are shady, so ask everything they're charging you for.

-Lastly, don't trust the Costco wireless reps. Hundreds of people here have done this and similar deals. They know better than any rep you will meet, as they've all done these deals.
Please make sure that you buy the phone outright, meaning limited colors and storage options.

My local store didn't have the iPhone 11 in stock and I was told I'd still get the GC rebate. After reading all the paperwork, when I got home, this isn't the case. Had to go back to cancel the line and wait for the phone shipment to arrive to go back and return that (which you have to mail yourself with the label provided). 2 weeks later, EIP is still on my account.
You are talking CRAP.....stop telling untruths.

This is ABSOLUTELY wrong

ANY listed phone, ANY carrier.....as long as its in good condition and not icloud locked

I did 4 trade-ins during the $580 promotion that ended last week. Can I do 4 more trade-ins with $700 promotion? Does anyone know? Appreciate your response.
Depends if your Tmo account allows additional lines per the terms on your account.

I have iphone 7 with a home button that acts weird time to time (it pushes it twice). Can this be traded in as well?

It sounds like I need to mail my iphone 7 after buying iphone 11 at full price. What happens if t-mboile reject my trade-in later?
if they reject it you are out a lot of monies.

Does it have to be under the Costco members name? Reason asking is my mom has a Costco membership and sometimes I tag along with her to Costco. Can I open under my name too?

Thanks
Nothing has to be under the Costco member's name. You just need to have a Costco member present with you to use their card to generate the pick-up slip (you take that to the front of the store and they pull out your device from the merchandise storage) and then you need the cardholder to swipe their card at checkout. That's pretty much it. I just did exactly that today.

Simple choice plans are excluded, does it mean that if I have Simple choice I cannot get this deal, or does it mean that I can add a new line with eligible plan and get this deal? thank you
Sorry if this was already answered, but unfortunately Simple Choice plans are excluded. The only way you can get this this deal is to create a new account (it has to be under the name of someone who isn't the primary account holder on your current account) with an eligible plan, like Magenta ($70/month for 1 line) and then you can get the deal. My understanding is that you can submit the trade-in and once you get that rebate sent to you, you can cancel that line. Hope this helps.

Hello, does the person has to have Costco membership or a friend willing to help can help out with his membership? As far as I understand that up to $700 Virtual Express Prepaid MasterCard isn't a physical card, how do they send it and does it work in Europe? I'll be traveling outside of the US for longer than the expiration of the card. I really appreciate your help.
